Almost too good to be true. From Sundance at CTH, Tucker Carlson Notes the CIA Monitoring His Communication with Iran Officials for Potential DOJ Referral. Dave Strom at Hat Hair, Did Tucker Carlson Just Get Caught Giving the Iranian Regime Intelligence? At PJM, Matt Margolis hears Tucker Carlson Claims He’s the Subject of Criminal Probe Over Iran and Scott Pinsker hears a New Theory Emerges: Was the Supreme Leader Set up by a Leaker Named… Tucker Carlson? Will Chamberlain @willchamberlain, "If the CIA knew that he was talking to the Iranians, then President Trump would have known that also, when he invited Tucker into the Oval a few days before the strike. Which means Trump may have used Tucker to deceive the Iranians about the likelihood of an impending attack." Quote Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson, "When you discover the CIA has been reading your texts in order to frame you for a crime." Wayne Root - Wayne Allyn Root - TV & Radio Host @RealWayneRoot, "The story gets even juicier. The word is Tucker is invited to WH by Trump. President tells him not to worry. We are bluffing. We have no intension of bombing Iran ever again. It's all a bluff to bring Iran to table. Tucker runs back to Mullahs & tells them our plan. CIA is listening to Tucker's call. Got him dead to rights for espionage & treason. But best part of story...Tucker emboldens Mullahs. They have no fear because now they know Trump was bluffing- they got it straight from Tucker who was in Oval Office w/Trump. They let their guard down. Then Trump bombs them & kills them all. The plan worked perfectly. Tucker was used like a fool by Trump. And outed as traitor. If all true, this is one of great military plans of all time. Tucker gave the enemy bad info. He got them killed! Tucker should spend decades in prison for aiding enemy. Irony- he hates Jews so much. He just became a modern day Julius & Ethel Rosenberg! What a "MOTHER TUCKER." Let's see how it plays out. In USA, no one is guilty until court of law says so. Except Democrat scumbags who opened border to destroy USA. They're guilty." Now whether or not this is a crime depends on the circumstances and conditions of the Trump/Tucker meet. It certainly would indicate that you can't trust Tucker with any sensitive information.
At Hat Hair, Josh Hammer wants to know What Is Victory in Operation Epic Fury?. It's a reasonable question. Brian Kennedy explains Why Attack Iran Now? The View From North Central Idaho is that they are A Solidly, Aggressively Patient Threat. Paul A. Szypula @Bubblebathgirl, "Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) admits Iran had enough uranium to make nuclear bombs because of Joe Biden but that was fine because Iran’s missiles couldn’t yet reach the US. That’s what Democrats thought was acceptable. Good grief."
Roger Simon at American Refugee explains What US Taking Kargh Island Will Mean "U.S. Marines taking control of Kargh Island, from which Iran exports 90% of the oil products that dominate its economy, might not end the war altogether—there will still be outliers; Iran is a big place—but it would go a long way towards doing so." News Wax reads the WSJ: Trump to Announce Ship Escort Coalition in Hormuz and reports Trump Warns NATO Faces 'Very Bad Future' If Allies Fail to Help US in Iran. Sundance hears President Trump Calls on Oil Dependent Nations to Send Military Ships to Backstop Security in Hormuz. AEI thinks the Strait of Hormuz Energy Crisis Offers Another Reason to Repeal the Jones Act.
Capt. Ed at Hat Hair must watch CBS: US Intel Showed Even Khamenei Thought Nepo Babytollah Was Incompetent. "Other than that, Nepo Babytollah is the perfect choice! And actually, he was, because the IRGC groomed this unaccomplished dullard specifically for this moment. The military-industrial core of the regime made Mojtaba their protegé with the express purpose of co-opting the theocracy as cover for a full-on military junta. Khamenei's sudden death gave the IRGC its opportunity." Sundance is stunned, Canadian Prime Minister Boasts About Blocking 10,000 IRGC Members from Entering Country "Now, why would 10,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards think it was a solid option to exit the conflict for safety in Canada?"
Leslie Eastman at LI thinks Space Force Proves Its Worth as Trump’s Vision Pays Off During Epic Fury, Midnight Hammer "The Space Force that Democrats sneered at is now saving American lives and protecting our allies from hostile missile fire." True, but the same people would also be doing it had they stayed in the other armed forces. Hopefully they're doing it better here. KC-10 Driver B-737 Wrangler @MCCCANM, "The “decision” to remove parachutes from the KC-135 was made in 2008, in the wake of the “Great Financial Crisis” (GFC). Adam had to know about it then…we all did. It was controversial at the time. AMC was on a fuel-savings tear, as the pentagon budget was reduced. They published the pamphlet “Birds fly free, AMC doesn’t” & established a review process for how much fuel you landed with. If it was deemed excessive, you were supposed to be counseled. Thankfully the KC-10 community generally scoffed at this. You could carry extra fuel & justify it a number of ways…but if you ran out of fuel due to unforeseen circumstances, you can bet you’d be hammered by leadership…if you survived. The chances of being able to bail out of a KC-135 successfully are low. It had a special escape slide, but even that was iffy. This is not the movies…jumping from a jet kills you as you bounce along the fuselage, getting cut in half by antennas, wing or tail, or ingested by the engines. The KC-10 never carried parachutes. This is not even the first KC-135 crash to happen since parachutes were pulled. All of which Adam knows, he just makes money by outraging you & playing politics." Quote Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) @AdamKinzinger "An insane decision made by pentagon bureaucrats and unforgivable x.com/fritzmt/status…" From the NYPO ed board, ‘Lobstergate’ again exposes the ignorant bias of TV’s ‘best and brightest.’
Sundance hosts Sunday Talks – NEC Director Kevin Hassett Outlines Depth of White House Preparatory Plan for Iran Economic Disruption and says All Things Considered – A Good Geopolitical Recap. At Power for the Future, First New U.S. Oil Refinery in 50 Years Coming to Texas - Power The Future. Good, we've let infrastructure stagnate far too long.
From Twitchy, New York Times Heartbroken: Latin America Refuses to Keep Propping Up Castro's Eternal Paradise. Melissa Chen @MsMelChen, "The NYT cannot help but romanticize commie regimes - especially Cuba's It uses the emotionally loaded term "abandonment" to lament the supposed betrayal, like a family turning its back on a troubled relative or a beleaguered symbol of resistance cruelly forsaken. The whole thing is dripping with the kind of sanctimonious leftist framing that treats the brutal, one-party dictatorship as an "ideological lodestar," conjuring images of "longhaired guerrillas" and "revolutionary nostalgia."..." Drew Pavlou @DrewPavlou, "Greta is complaining that Trump won’t allow the Cuban communist dictatorship to import fossil fuels to power their dictatorship What’s the matter Greta, I thought you wanted the planet to go Green!" Politico whines, Colombia’s President Says We Are Heading Toward ‘Extinction’ "In an exclusive interview with POLITICO, the outgoing Colombian president argues the war on drugs has failed and fires back at Donald Trump." Sundance sees Understandable Disappointment with Mexican President Sheinbaum – Trump: “The Cartels are Running Mexico.” At Insty, IF TRUMP WERE AS BAD AS THEY SAY, WOULD THEY HAVE TO LIE TO SCORE POINTS ON HIM?
At Da Mail, Bernie Sanders-backed Senate hopeful backtracks on apology for 'Nazi skull' tattoo insisting it's an 'eminently reasonable skull-and-crossbones'. I mean, who hasn't got a Nazi tattoo by accident? Joe Chalfant at TownHall sees Minnesota Elections Official Finally Admits What We All Knew About Illegals Voting. It's easy, and no one is checking. And, There Have Been Some Crazy Developments on Virginia's Firearms Situation. Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes, "A man from Bangladesh introduced bill SB749 and got passed, a very extensive gun ban bill in Virginia It’s headed to the governor’s desk to be signed, she’s expected to sign it “Some guy from Bangladesh just banned American citizens from owning firearms in Virginia. Saddam Azlan Salim, a state senator in Virginia, has crafted SB749 banning all types of the possession, sale, etc, of firearms. It has passed the legislation. It's going to the governor's desk, a hardcore leftist, and will most likely sign it..." Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, "HOLY CRAP! Virginia Democrats just voted to EXEMPT THEMSELVES from their coming tyrannical gun control laws 2A ONLY gets violated for citizens: “The provisions of this section shall not apply to any member of the General Assembly who leaves a handgun in an unattended motor vehicle pursuant to § 18.2-308.7:1 when such vehicle is parked in any parking structure reserved for members of the General Assembly under § 2.2-1172.” This is insane. Elections have consequences, Virginia!" From Shooting News Week, Let’s Count the Lies VA Assault Weapons Bill Author Saddam Salim Tells in Just Three Paragraphs.
Hat Hair's Betsy McCaughey anticipates Blue-State Suicide, "Leftist Democratic pols calling for states to tax the rich are ignoring the fact that the rich can exit their state, taking jobs, tax revenue and the right to congressional representation with them. The states that fall for the tax-the-rich mania will be left in the dust, with failing economies and shrinking political clout in Congress."
CA Post ed board, Eric Swalwell is not where he’s supposed to be "Does Rep. Eric Swalwell live with his wife and kids in a posh spread near the Capitol they bought for $1.2 million in 2020? Or does the wannabe gov reside in one rented room in Livermore, Calif. — not far from swanky hotels he frequents — in the district he represents?" "In 2012, Swalwell defeated a 20-term(!) Democratic incumbent to win his current House seat in a campaign centered in part on (wait for it) claims that his opponent lived outside of his district."
Ben Weingarten at RCI peers into The Grey Zone: When Do Protest Observers Become Lawbreaking Participants? Sundance celebrates Eight ANTIFA Members Found Guilty on Multiple Terrorism Charges in Texas – Seven Additional Members Found Guilty of Material Support for Terrorism. At Fox, Brother of Michigan synagogue attacker was Hezbollah commander, Israel alleges "Ayman Muhammad Ghazali carried out Detroit-area attack after Israeli strike eliminated two brothers and other family members, police say."
At NYPo, Vegas police refuse to release violent criminal despite judge’s order: reports. "In court, Goodman set bail at $25,000 and ordered that the suspect must wear a monitoring ankle bracelet which equated to house arrest if he does make bail. On Jan. 29, the police department, which also runs the jail system in the city, told Goodman that they would not release Sanchez-Lopez due to his history of blowing off court appearances and skipping court-ordered rehabilitation programs. Cops cited a 2020 case when the felon ran from cops lugging a gun, and later took to Snapchat to joke about the ankle monitor he was wearing, adding, “got chased again.” Goodman didn’t take the snub lightly, and on Feb. 5 warned that the department and Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill, who heads Metro police, could be cited for contempt of court for defying his order."
At Da Fed, Ben Weingarten is heartened that the Trump DOJ Is Finally Taking On The Corrupt DC Bar Association.
Insty says it MAKES YOU WONDER WHY ALL THESE COUNTRIES’ GOVERNMENTS ARE PURSUING THIS STRATEGY AGAINST ALL OPPOSITION: Infodex @infodexx, "% of respondents who feel their country takes in too many migrants: Greece: 90% Cyprus: 84% Ireland: 78% Germany: 77% Austria: 77% Bulgaria: 76% Poland: 75% Italy: 74% Belgium: 73% Czechia: 72% Spain: 70% France: 70% Sweden: 70% Finland: 68% Estonia: 68% Lithuania: 63% Latvia: 61% Portugal: 57% Slovakia: 57% Denmark: 57% Romania: 57%" Because they want to import a newer, liberal friendly electorate.
Sarah Anderson reports Rubio Just Made It Much Easier for Lefties Who Want to Leave the U.S. for Good, by reducing the taxes for leaving. See ya!
Twitchy reports LH Grey Goes OFF on Toads Who Doxxed Cynical Publius in Maybe the Most VICIOUS Post We've Ever Seen on X. LHGrey @grey4626, "Ryan. Hi.... It's me again... how grotesquely arrogant to presume you alone decree whose pseudonym merits protection and whose deliberate veil may be ripped away for sport. Your smug exoneration of the doxxing of Cynical Publius...unmasked by your own War on the Rocks platform...is no dispassionate analysis; it is a venomous apologia for digital vigilantism, a lethal rationalization that courts foreseeable harm to a man whose only “crime” was daring to speak from behind the shield he chose. Spare me your selective historiography and your facile “he benefits” dismissal, complete with not-so-subtle nods to Trump-era sinecures..."
Peter Hague@peterrhague, "
Guardian columnist describes the mere existence of a bakery chain run by Jews as “aggression” in order to justify kristallnacht-style attacks on it. Cannot believe they printed this."
